Promotion of hydrogen oxidation using the chain combustion of a silane
The bimolecular reaction of active intermediate products, of atoms and radicals with each other, determine to a large degree the rules of chain combustion processes, including the efficiency of the effect of inhibitors. Analysis reveals that in a number of cases the reaction of free atoms and radicals with each other can also lead to a promotion of some chain processes by others. For this it is necessary that the active centers, formed in the promoting process, enter into the beneficial reaction of the chains with the intermediate product of the induced process. In the present paper the promotion of a model branched chain process is accomplished and specifically the combustion of a detonating mixture using the reaction of silane oxidation. The oxidation of a silane was used to induce the combustion of hydrogen. The mechanism of the induction is explained.
